Hi,
Online education can definitely beat classroom study but it will depend on number of factors. It includes accreditation, syllabus quality, scope of practical training and your daily schedule.

Great mini study, sheds light on the varied opinions of learning professionals with regards to sales training. From the qualitative responses, its evident that there will always be classroom as well as online learning loyalists. The neutral ground, incorporating the best of both worlds, is what the majority seems to have gone with (65% blended learning).

Interesting read =)

T.T – Thanks for responding. I think in the current situation, elearning is the most cost effective method for learning/training. It will reduce your training costs. If you have something more specific in mind, please contact me at rk.prasad@commlabindia.com

Hi,
I stumbled upon your website today. Your body of work looks very impressive.

I am not a HR manager, but I have one question. In the current economic situation, with a continuing Recession and all that, what role can E-Learning play?

I suppose a fantastic on line trainer could be better than a mediocre live trainer, but as I said before, role play and practice are the way to get good. I am a sales trainer, and this afternoon I have been out cold calling selling chip and pin machines – to keep me sharp, and so I know what REALLY works not just theory. I am in the Uk. want some free sales tips ? Google “pauls sales tips”

RK,

First, I would like to thank you for such a timely blog post. This information is very helpful.

We are currently considering offering online training/blended training and of course, one of our concerns is the very issue of finding a great balance between convenience and effective delivery of material.

Combined with online video, I think the real issue will be tweaking the content to the medium. Much in the same way a live demonstration is different than television. Both are great mediums but the technique is slightly different.

Again thanks for the post.
